Three days later, He Zhengchu bought a carriage and took Hu Dacheng back to Anzhou.
Knowing that Kang Yueran would be back after the 15th and Hu Dacheng was no longer in danger of losing his life, He Zhengchu decided not to send a letter to the capital and wait for Kang Yueran to come back.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, there was no curfew in the capital. Chai Shijing came to Four Seasons Garden in the afternoon to accompany Kang Yueran to read, drink tea, and talk.
In the evening, I accompanied Kang Yueran, Ye's mother and son to see the night view of the capital.
Kang Yueran is not good at guessing lantern riddles, but Chai Shijing is good at it, and he won a lantern for each of Kang Yueran's siblings.

Kang Yueran tapped her hands on the table while she pondered He Zhengchu's words. Adding the two hundred men in black who had stormed into Four Seasons Garden, it would be difficult for her to deal with them if they united to attack her.
"The emperor won't wait, he will definitely find a way to force you to act as soon as possible." Qin Shu's words suddenly rang in Kang Yueran's mind.
Her eyes narrowed slightly. Yes, if her family was assassinated, she would be the first to suspect Duke Lu. The assassinations of the Ye family, He Zhengchu, and Xiao Cheng, regardless of the outcome, would only deepen her hostility towards Duke Lu. Given her character, she would not remain silent and would seek revenge.
